Alright so I'll try to describe my problem in detail.
And before I do, I'll tell you that I've been searching about this problem for around 2 weeks without any success... that's why I finally ask you all to find the solution... so here it goes:
I've got a 200mbps down/100mbps up fiber connection at home. When I do a speedtest I get around 192mbps down which is more then enough. However my problem lies around my upload speed, but only on ONE computer.
I've tried my connection with several computers for example:
Macbook wired: got about 192/94 with speedtest.
Macbook wireless: got about 190/88 with speedtest.
Acer Iconia Tab W500: wired 95/90 (only has a 100mbps NIC)
Acer Iconia Tab W500: wireless 94/85 (only has a 100mbps NIC)
HP Pavilion DvXXXX: wired 95/91 (only has a 100mbps NIC)
HP Pavilion DvXXXX: wireless 93/87 (only has a 100mbps NIC)
Main computer: wired 192/25-40 <- The problem.
OS on the computers:
Macbook - Latest OS
Acer Iconia Tab W500 - Windows 8
HP Pavilion - Windows 7 Ultimate
As described I've tried with several computers which all successfully gets a good upload speed, all but my main computer.
Some specifications about my main computer:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1
Motherboard: ASRock z68 Extreme4 Gen3
Processor: Intel i5 3570k (not clocked)
Graphic Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870
NIC: Intel Gigabit Network Card/Onboard Broadcom gigabit NIC
What I've done to try to solve my problem:
Plugged directly into the computer without a router (No difference, as all other computers reach good upload within the router).
Switched network cables, Bought new cables, tried with both Cat6 and Cat5e.
Bought a new Intel Gigabit Network Card (same results as onboard network card)
Uninstalled old drivers, Installed new drivers (tried with both old and latest, same results)
Disabled/Enabled RDC in windows functions
Disabled/Enabled QoS on the NIC settings
Disabled/Enabled ipv6 on the NIC settings
Reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate (Same results)
Installed Ubuntu Partition (Didnt do any configurations and speedtest showed 193/90..!)
Tried changing several settings in regedit (without any positive changes)
NIC duplex settings:
Auto Negotiate = Standard Results (190+Download/25-40Upload)
1Gigabit/Full Dubplex = Lower result/same result as above
100mbps/Full Dubplex = Lower results both Download/Upload
100mbps/Half Dubplex = 60-70Download/75-85Upload
Other duplex settings didn't do anything good.
I've probably tried some other settings aswell, but it's hard to remember everything... I'm above moderately skilled with computers and probably above average at networks... But this problem just cant seem to be solved...
So my conclusion after all the testing is that there's something inside WINDOWS 7 that blocks my upload connection... as Ubuntu worked more then fine without any configurations.
Also to add, I've done some 1GB file upload testing on several sites,
With main computer it seems it cant really send any files fast at all.
With the others I can upload the file at 10-12mb/sec
I've tried to download and upload legal torrents to see the difference.
On my Acer Iconia Tab W500 I've uploaded at full speed, and with main computer the very SAME torrent it wont upload fast or even at all...
So I might have forgot some important information, but if you think you can help me, please dont hesitate to ask for further information.
Sincerely,
Hendrikx
